It follows a new round of investment which will enable it to help cities update and expand their public lighting systems and use them to roll out further smart city applications.

The Smart City Aquiraz development is located 29km from Ceará’s capital Fortaleza, and built on a 200-hectare site, it will be home to more than 18,000 residents.

Drivers in the Colombian capital lose 191 hours a year to congestion, according to the 2019 Inrix Global Traffic Scorecard, which identifies and analyses trends in more than 900 cities.

The companies claim this is the first community collaboration of its kind and will roll out to Android users in the US, Brazil, Mexico and Israel.

A total of 28 cities and projects have been chosen across seven categories for the World Smart City Awards 2019 and winners will be announced on 20 November.
